THE COMMIES ARE COMING! THE COMMIES ARE COMING!

The Berlin Wall may have fallen 20 years ago, and you can buy McDonald's in Red Square, but the United Nations,that festering hot bed of godless Communism, is still around. Side 1 of this ludicrous fear-mongering document from 1962 pounds home the notion that anti-Americanism is built into the UN. Side 2 repeats the malarkey that is still heard today about America being 'founded on Christian values,' citing The Mayflower Compact, and something Woodrow Wilson said. For more shoddy research, unconvincing arguments and implausible conspiracies, dig this spoken-word, very sample-able LP:Billy James Hargis - The UN Hoax (1962)You will be shocked - shocked! - to know that Hargis' career was knocked askew by a sex scandal. Wiki sez: "In 1974, when Hargis was nearly 50, he was forced to resign as president of American Christian College due to allegations that he had seduced college members. Two of his students claimed that they had had sex with Hargis—one was female, one was male. Other students corroborated the story. The account was reported by Time magazine in 1976, along with other alleged incidents at Hargis' farm in the Ozarks, and while on tour with his All American Kids musical group." The UN, laughing diabolically, had their revenge!(Thanks once again to windy)

I found this treasure for a buck, locally, still sealed. Not about music, so I thought I'd pass it on. The rantings of this nut are pretty mainstream for the folks around these parts, especially down towards Provo. I was SOOOO hoping I'd spot the David Noebel talky commie folkies Beatles' hypnosis mind control album on the Mo-vanity press Century Records in the bin, but, alas, nope....

This was released on the John Birch Society label Key, in which every release climbed the charts with a bullet and every man was a star (the women stayed home, of course). Thank you, Mr. Fab, for this Key to the puzzle that is my life!
